It's not the case that "we only have the bug id". Launchpad knows very well what the bug summary is -- as you can tell by the fact that the e-mail notification contains the summary in the footer! I can't think of any sensible reason to include this information in the footer 100% of the time, and in the Subject only 99.9% of the time.

Examples of this bug that I've received in the past year: bug 867424, bug 399765, bug 1023588, bug 867424, and bug 627195. I wouldn't call it Critical at all, just an annoyance.

(Separately, Apport -- a prolific bug commenter -- sometimes makes comments with empty Subjects, which I confused with this bug. I've now reported that separately as bug 1495436.)
